HOW HUNGER FEELS.
Sensations of Fasting Arctic Explorer* In
Sight of Musk Oxen.
I wonder if a single one of my
readers really knows what hunger
is? Henson and myself were worn
to the bone with scant rations and
hard work, and that hard work had
left the little covering on our bones
in the shape of lean, tense muscles
and wires of sinew. The supper from
the hare—that meal of fresh, hot,
luscious meat, the first adequate
meal in nearly 600 miles of daily
snowshoeing—had wakened every
merciless hunger fang that during
| the previous weeks had been grad
ually dulled into insensibility. It
had been the taste of freshly spilled
blood to the long tamed tiger, and
now the big black animals before us
were not game, but meat, and every
nerve and fiber in my gaunt body
was vibrating with a savage lust for
that meat —meat that should be soft
and warm, meat into which the
teeth could sink and tear and rend,
meat that would not blister lips and
tongue with its frost, nor ring like
a rock against the teeth. Panting
i and quivering with excitement, we
lay for a few moments. We could
not risk a shot at that distance.
“Do you think they will come for
us?” said Matt.
, “God knows! I hope so, boy, for
* then we are sure of some of them.
Are you ready ?”
“Yes, sir.”
, “Come on, then.”
One of us one side of the big bowl
der, the other the other, and we
dashed across the rocks and snow
straight toward them. There was a
snort and stamp from the big bull
guarding the herd, and the next in
stant every animal was on his feet
and, thank God, facing us. The next
they were in close line, with lower
ed heads and horns. I could have
yelled for joy if I had had the breath
to spare. Every one of us has read
I some of the thrilling stories of trav-
I elers in the Russian forests, chased
by hungry wolves, and our feelings
j have been wrought up to the highest
pitch of sympathy for the poor fel
lows in their efforts to escape. But
did any of us ever stop to think how
those other poor fellows, the wolves,
felt with their empty stomachs? I
know now what their feelings are,
and my sympathies are with the
wolves. I was a wolf myself at that
f moment.
We were within less than 50 yards
of the herd when the big bull, with
I a quick motion, lowered his horns
still more. Instinct, Providence—
mejtjyqs.
ed my
and sent a bullet at the back of his
neck over the white, impervious
shield of the great horns. Heart and
I soul and brain and eyes went with
that singing bullet. I felt that I was
strong enough and hungry enough
and wolf enough that, had the bull
been alone, I could have sprung
upon him barehanded and torn the
lifeblood from his throat,but against
the entire herd we would have been
powerless. Once the black ava
lanche had gained momentum we
would have been crushed by it like
the crunching snow crystals under
our feet. As the bull fell upon his
knees the herd wavered. A cow
half turned and, as Matt’s rifle crack
ed, fell with a bullet back of her
fore shoulder. Without raising my
rifle above my hips, another one
dropped. Then another for Matt.
Then the herd broke, and we hur
ried in pursuit.—Lieutenant Peary
in Windsor Magazine.
The Tomb of
The tomb is reached by a descent
of 20 or more slippery, worn and of
course dirty steps.
The Moslems regard Lazarus as a
saint and have erected a mosque
over the place of his burial. Chris
tians are, of course, forbidden to en-
• ter this mosque, and thus the steps
(made in the sixteenth century)
down which we have entered are ac
counted for. In fact, there is now,
i I believe, no entrance from the
J mosque. The stairway leads to a
small, square antechamber. Turn to
your left through a doorway, and
you are in the tomb proper, which is
made to hold three or four bodies.
On the east side is possibly the orig
inal entrance, now walled up. The
tomb is high enough to stand up
right in and is cut in the solid rock
and lined with masonry. It is large
enough to hold quite a company.
As to its identity with the historic
tomb of Sacred Writ, opinion is di
vided. We have accounts of its be
ing visited in the twelfth century.
That it is a very ancient tomb and
one of the same character cannot
possibly be well disputed.
However, we accept it for what
we have known it to be for at least
seven or eight centuries—the tomb
of Lazarus.—H. O. Tanner in A. M.
E. Church Review.

FREEDOM RESTORED.
A Young: California Farmer's Kindnew to
an Eagle He Had Seen He fore.
There was an interested crowd be
fore a large glass front. Everybody
that came along stopped either to
make inquiries or elbowed in toward
the window to see what the attrac
tion was. Inside was a magnificent
white headed eagle. There was a
chain from its right foot to a huge
piece of iron, some water in a pan,
an untouched piece of fish, a few
sods and a large card with the words
“For Sale.”
The big bird's wings drooped on
either side to its feet. Its eyes were
glazed and dim looking. It opened
and shut them now and then, but
never once turned them to the jos
tling, noisy crowd that stood just
outside the glass. There were no
marks of violence to be seen, but the
dull, pathetic eyes, the drooping
wings, the soiled white about the
head and the ruffled feathers over
the body showed that the captive
had been in chains much longer
than it had been in the window.
One of the crowd in the street
was a sturdy young farmer who had
come into town early that morning.
He had pushed his way to the front
and stood looking in silence for a
long time at the great, helpless bird.
He was sure he had seen it before.
It had been captured, he learned
from what some of the crowd said,
in the country from which he had
come. That settled it. It was the
same bird.
He had seen it on the mountain
where he sometimes had hunted for
a stray sheep. He knew the big pine
in the top of which it had its nest.
He had noted it soar majestically
and free about him as he worked in
the valley and had seen it sit mo
tionless for hours on the top of some
tall, distant ranpike. Now and then
he had had a suspicion that it had
carried off an occasional lamb and
had more than once tried to shoot
the bird, but had never succeeded in
getting near enough.
The young farmer elbowed his
way along the window to the door
of the store. Then he went in.
“What d’ye want for that bird?”
he said. “I’d like to buy ’im.”
“Two dollars,” was the reply.
“Very well, I’ll take ’im.”
He paid over the money, and the
bird was handed out to him.
The crowd at the window watched
eagerly as the farmer came out with
the big eagle under his arm and
went straight across the street to
where a ladder leaned against a bill
board that was some 10 or 12 feet
he was not sure which, but no dif
ference—on the top of the billboard
and came down.
The great bird bad been a prison
er so long that it seemed for a time
to have forgotten how to be free. It
sat for awhile as it had sat in the
window, but gradually it came to it
self. It lifted first one drooping wing
and tucked it closely to its side, then
the other. It raised itself slowly to
its full height and stretched out its
great head toward the sky. The
dullness went out of the eyes and a
fierce new light flashed in; then,
nervously stretching out its huge
pinions on either side and taking a
step or two forward, it rose with a
hoarse scream and swept out toward
the sun.
A burst of applause from the
crowd met the farmer as he recross
ed the street.
“I had seen him on the moun
tain,” he said, “an I couldn’t bear
to see him there.” He pointed to
the window, then in a moment he
was gone.—The Whittier.

RATS ENDED THE STRIKE.
A Combination Against Striking Miner*
Which They Could Not Resist.
“Not one of the biggest, but one
of the most stubborn strikes that
ever occurred in the Pennsylvania
coal region,” said a former mining
engineer, “was ended by rats. The
rats that infest coal mines are of
enormous size and as ravenous as
they are big. The miners not only
tolerate them, but stand in awe of
them, for it is a firm belief with the
coal miner that these rats can fore
tell disaster and give warning to the
miners of their danger by scurrying
out of the threatened mine in droves
in ample time to enable the miners
to make their escape also. So care
ful are the workmen of these great,
hungry rats that it is not an uncom
mon sight to see a miner feeding
half a dozen or more from his din
ner pail. They sometimes become
so tame that they will climb on a
miner’s lap as he sits at his under
ground meal and crowd around him
to receive such portions of his meal
as he cares to toss to them.
“These rats never leave the mines
so long as work is going on. The
food of the mine mules is kept in
the mines, and on this the rats
largely subsist. They swarm about
when the mules are eating, and
sometimes the mules have to fight
the rats to save their meal. Often
scores of dead rats will be found in
a mule’s stall in the mines, where
they have been trampled to death in
efforts to secure a portion of the
mule’s feed. When a mine lies idle
any length of time and the mules
are taken out, the rats abandon it
and become a great pest in the min
ing villages.
“The strike I refer to was caused
by the refusal of a mine boss to re
instate a miner he had discharged.
The men quit work. Ibe mine own
ers declared they would let grass
grow and choke the mouth of the
slope before they would give in tu
the men, and the men swore that
they would cut the grass and eat it,
if necessary, before they would yield
their point. The mules were taken
from the mine and turned out to
pasture. The rats, being thus de
prived of their sustenance, abandon
ed the mine and took up their quar
ters about the miners’ shanties,
where they soon became a terror to
the families. The strike continued,
and the supplies of the men became
exhausted. Miners at neighboring
collieries who were at work respond
ed to the requests of their striking
brother's for aid and sent two wagon
jpadw provisions and supplies of
kinds. These

be distributed to the neediest of the
miners. The very first night the
supplies were in the building it was
raided by a horde of rats, and ev
erything was devoured or carried
away. Four different loads of pro
visions were contributed by the sym
pathetic working miners, but it was
impossible to save more than one
third of them from the rats. Some
of the miners kept cows at that
time, there being plenty of free pas
turage, but soon after the strike be
gan the cows began to fall short in
their yield of milk. This was a mys
tery until one morning a miner dis
covered half a dozen big rats suck
ing the milk from his cow as she
lay on the ground complacently
chewing her cud. These combina
tions against them at last forced the
miners to weaken, and they were
compelled by and by to resume wort
on such terms as they could obtain,-
absolutely beaten by the devouring
horde of rats.”—New York Sun.
